How To Sell eBooks on eBay:

1. Download the ebooks you wish to sell onto your hard drive.

2. Open the ebook and see what parameters it uses for viewing (i.e. pdf file that requires Adobe Acrobat Reader or if it's a self-extracting .exe file that has the viewer with it.) This should be stated in the ad to avoid unnecessary emails with questions.

3. If the eBook has specific system requirements, make a note of that. This will normally be a little pop-up screen just after you click on the eBook. It is not on all eBooks. It is against eBay rules for you to put any of the ebooks onto a CD and mail it to your customer.

4. If your computer has a program that will capture/copy the opening page or book cover contained in the eBook, get that picture into a jpg so you have something to put in the picture area of your auction. Or just create one with a Word Processing program.

5. Skim through at least the first few pages of the eBook to get a feel for what it contains and use some of the phrases or keywords in your ad.

6. Do a general search on eBay for ebooks to see what others within that general topic are selling for and set your opening bid price. This pricing is totally up to you!

7. Be sure to list in the auction your method of delivery for the eBook (i.e. as a file attachment -- be sure to specify the file size! Some providers have a limit to file attachment size). It is best if you put EBOOK either in your auction title or in a prominent position in the Auction Description. This will help forstall any confusion.

8. State clearly what methods of payment you will accept and any time factors involved with delivery of the product (i.e. PayPal same-day email w/attachment or Money Order next day email w/attachment and so forth).

9. Please be CERTAIN that you include the following text with eBay ebook auctions:
"I own resale rights to this ebook. You are NOT purchasing resale rights, but the actual eBook. This auction is listed in accordance with eBay's Media rules."

10. List your auction(s) as you normally would.
